Orlando City hosts Houston Dynamo two days after losing head coach

It wasn't an easy an week for Orlando City — a 4-0 stomping in Dallas, a fired coach and a star player injured again — but the players need to rally quickly.

The Lions (4-4-8, 20 points) return to Camping World Stadium to host the Houston Dynamo (4-8-5, 17 points) at 8 p.m. Friday, two days after head coach Adrian Heath was fired.

Assistant Bobby Murphy and Orlando City B coach Anthony Pulis will serve as interim coaches, leading a team disappointed in recent performances, hovering below the playoff cut line at seventh in the Eastern Conference and missing its leader, Kaká, due to a calf injury.
